1 And it came to pass after <0310> these things <01697>, that one told <0559> (8799) Joseph <03130>, Behold, thy father <01> is sick <02470> (8802): and he took <03947> (8799) with him his two <08147> sons <01121> , Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>.
2 And one told <05046> (8686) Jacob <03290>, and said <0559> (8799), Behold, thy son <01121> Joseph <03130> cometh <0935> (8802) unto thee: and Israel <03478> strengthened <02388> (8691) himself, and sat <03427> (8799) upon the bed <04296>.
3 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) unto Joseph <03130>, God <0410> Almighty <07706> appeared <07200> (8738) unto me at Luz <03870> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, and blessed <01288> (8762) me,
4 And said <0559> (8799) unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful <06509> (8688), and multiply <07235> (8689) thee, and I will make <05414> (8804) of thee a multitude <06951> of people <05971>; and will give <05414> (8804) this land <0776> to thy seed <02233> after thee <0310> for an everlasting <05769> possession <0272>.
5 And now thy two <08147> sons <01121>, Ephraim <0669> and Manasseh <04519>, which were born <03205> (8737) unto thee in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> before <05704> I came <0935> (8800) unto thee into Egypt <04714>, are mine; as Reuben <07205> and Simeon <08095>, they shall be mine.
6 And thy issue <04138>, which thou begettest <03205> (8689) after <0310> them, shall be thine, and shall be called <07121> (8735) after <05921> the name <08034> of their brethren <0251> in their inheritance <05159>.
7 And as for me, when I came <0935> (8800) from Padan <06307>, Rachel <07354> died <04191> (8804) by me in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> in the way <01870>, when <05750> yet there was but a little <03530> way <0776> to come <0935> (8800) unto Ephrath <0672>: and I buried her <06912> (8799) there in the way <01870> of Ephrath <0672> ; the same is Bethlehem <01035>.
8 And Israel <03478> beheld <07200> (8799) Joseph#s <03130> sons <01121>, and said <0559> (8799), Who are these?
9 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> (8799) unto his father <01>, They are my sons <01121>, whom God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) me in this place. And he said <0559> (8799), Bring them <03947> (8798), I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless <01288> (8762) them.
10 Now the eyes <05869> of Israel <03478> were dim <03513> (8804) for age <02207>, so that he could <03201> (8799) not see <07200> (8800). And he brought them near <05066> (8686) unto him; and he kissed <05401> (8799) them, and embraced <02263> (8762) them.
11 And Israel <03478> said <0559> (8799) unto Joseph <03130>, I had not thought <06419> (8765) to see <07200> (8800) thy face <06440>: and, lo, God <0430> hath shewed <07200> (8689) me also thy seed <02233>.
12 And Joseph <03130> brought them out <03318> (8686) from between <05973> his knees <01290>, and he bowed <07812> (8691) himself with his face <0639> to the earth <0776>.
13 And Joseph <03130> took <03947> (8799) them both <08147>, Ephraim <0669> in his right hand <03225> toward Israel#s <03478> left hand <08040>, and Manasseh <04519> in his left hand <08040> toward Israel#s <03478> right hand <03225> , and brought them near <05066> (8686) unto him.
14 And Israel <03478> stretched out <07971> (8799) his right hand <03225>, and laid <07896> (8799) it upon Ephraim#s <0669> head <07218>, who was the younger <06810>, and his left hand <08040> upon Manasseh#s <04519> head <07218>, guiding <07919> <00> his hands <03027> wittingly <07919> (8765); for Manasseh <04519> was the firstborn <01060>.
15 And he blessed <01288> (8762) Joseph <03130>, and said <0559> (8799), God <0430>, before <06440> whom my fathers <01> Abraham <085> and Isaac <03327> did walk <01980> (8694), the God <0430> which fed <07462> (8802) me all my life long <05750> unto this day <03117>,
16 The Angel <04397> which redeemed <01350> (8802) me from all evil <07451>, bless <01288> (8762) the lads <05288>; and let my name <08034> be named <07121> (8735) on them, and the name <08034> of my fathers <01> Abraham <085> and Isaac <03327>; and let them grow <01711> (8799) into a multitude <07230> in the midst <07130> of the earth <0776> .
17 And when Joseph <03130> saw <07200> (8799) that his father <01> laid <07896> (8799) his right <03225> hand <03027> upon the head <07218> of Ephraim <0669>, it displeased <03415> (8799) <05869> him: and he held up <08551> (8799) his father#s <01> hand <03027>, to remove <05493> (8687) it from Ephraim#s <0669> head <07218> unto Manasseh#s <04519> head <07218>.
18 And Joseph <03130> said <0559> (8799) unto his father <01>, Not so, my father <01>: for this is the firstborn <01060>; put <07760> (8798) thy right hand <03225> upon his head <07218>.
19 And his father <01> refused <03985> (8762), and said <0559> (8799), I know <03045> (8804) it, my son <01121>, I know <03045> (8804) it: he also shall become a people <05971>, and he also shall be great <01431> (8799): but truly <0199> his younger <06996> brother <0251> shall be greater <01431> (8799) than he, and his seed <02233> shall become a multitude <04393> of nations <01471>.
20 And he blessed <01288> (8762) them that day <03117>, saying <0559> (8800), In thee shall Israel <03478> bless <01288> (8762), saying <0559> (8800), God <0430> make <07760> (8799) thee as Ephraim <0669> and as Manasseh <04519>: and he set <07760> (8799) Ephraim <0669> before <06440> Manasseh <04519>.
21 And Israel <03478> said <0559> (8799) unto Joseph <03130>, Behold, I die <04191> (8801): but God <0430> shall be with you, and bring you again <07725> (8689) unto the land <0776> of your fathers <01>.
22 Moreover I have given <05414> (8804) to thee one <0259> portion <07926> above thy brethren <0251>, which I took <03947> (8804) out of the hand <03027> of the Amorite <0567> with my sword <02719> and with my bow <07198>.
